Wildest Beast (Hillarca Series 01)
Rayver Chadrel Hillarca Point of View

They say reasons can change people.

I thought it just a prose...but though...maybe they are right.

Reasons why she changed her decision.

"A-Ayoko na, Chad," shaking her head. "h-hindi ko na kayang magpanggap pa." "W-What are you talking about?" my forehead crease. "a-are we still faking it?"

I step forward...just once step.

"G-Gaile..." calling her name...desperately.

"T-This is just game right? L-Laro lang ang lahat ng 'to hindi ba... Chad?" naluluha niyang aniya. Sa pagkakatong 'to ay ako ang umiling. I hold her firmly. Cursing out inside my head.

"B-Baby...listen to me, hmm." Resting my head at her forehead. "tang*na naman Gaile, bakit naman ganito?" she's trying to step backward but I hold his waist firmly. Collapsing into my body. "C-Chad..."

"B-Baby...please don't do this to me...enlighten me please." wiping her tears.

"I-I'm sorry...but I can't." she croaked. "I can't lie anymore."

"But we're not lying right? Mahal na kita Gaile, mahal mo naman ako hindi ba?"

"H-Hindi Chad," iling niya. "h-hindi kailan man kita minahal."

"W-What-"

"Siya pa rin Chad! S-Siya pa rin...sorry."

She then turns around...and slipped at my hands...in my life.

Three months. I gave her the space for almost three months...because I thought she needs space. But first weeks of August...she's kissing someone else. At our secret place. "CHADRELLE!"

At lasts...calling my name for the first time. But the thing is, even though she's hugging me, stopping me for hurting the man she's with. It's f*ck*ng hurts...I didn't think there will comes a day that I will feel this kind of pain. It was hurt to see her with someone else.

"W-Who the f*ck is he?!"

"P-Pre, hindi ba dapat ako ang magtanong 'yan sa'yo?" natatawang sagot sa akin ng tarantada.

"Shut th f*ck up!"

"Chad!"

"What?! Really Gaile?! Tatlong buwan, tang*na binigyan kita ng tatlong buwan."

"Hindi mo 'yon binigay Chad! Sariling desisyon ko 'yon!"

"Tang*na naman Gaile oh, huwag mo namang akong gaguhin ng ganito."

"Walang tayo, Chadrelle."

"You know that's not true!"

"See this ring in my hands!" closing my eyes, and yet, the rings were still shot by the blaze of the sun.

F*ck.

"Sa ikalawang linggo ay papakasal na ako mismo! Kaya huwag na huwag mo na akong pakialaman dahil walang tayo!" shouted at top of her lungs.

People were looking at us. Sanay akong pinagtitinginan ng mga tao, pero sa pagkakataong 'to. I don't have the confidence, na kahit pa lantarang kinukuhanan kami ng mga litrato. Hindi ko sila masigawan gaya ng ginagawa ko noon. Right, pagak akong natawa at pait na napangiti...here she is. The woman who turns me to someone I didn't thoughts I will be. Gaile.

"C-Chad...let's go." When I look up...hoping it was Gaile. But it's not. "K-Kuya Chad..." it was Hale. My best friend sister. "H-Hey."

"W-Why are crying?! And why are you still standing here like an idiot?! Nasan na 'yong Chad na matapobreng nakilala ko?!" umiiyak niyang aniya. Bahagyang pinagsusuntok ako sa dibdib. When I touch my cheeks...she's right. Hindi ko alam na umiiyak na pala ako. I stop her hands when Hale try to slap me this time.

'I'm fine."

"You're not fine! Don't lie to me! You're not!"

"Hailene?" si Wince. Ang kapatid ni Hale, na siyang aking kaibigan bago pa man sila makalapit sa akin. I turn around and left them.

"Kuya Chad!" sigaw na tawag sa akin ni Hale.

Looking at her caller ID. Should I call? Sighing, I turn my engine. Tama nga siguro 'yong sinasabi nilang dapat pala mas mabuti kung nagpakatotoo na sa una, kasi sa huli kapag nagkatotoo na masasabi naglolokohan lang pala. The contract was still in my hands... Gaile was right. Tama namang naglolokohan lang kaming dalawa, na totoong walang kaming dalawa. Na ako naman talaga ang unang nag propose sa bagay na 'yon.

"Don't ever fall in love with me."

"O-Of course! Hinding hindi naman talaga ako mai-inlab sa mga kagaya mo."

"For what? Kagaya kong ano?"

"Kagaya mong maraming sabit."

"Maraming sabit?" kunot noo kong ulit sa sinabi niya. Tumango naman siya.

"Oo! Mayaman ka ako mahirap lang, kumbaga hindi uso ang Cinderella kaya huwag na huwag kang mag-aalala. Kabibisaduhin ko 'tong kontrata, so let's work professionally, shall we?" giving her hands in front of me. Upon taking a hand shake with hers, I didn't expect she have a smooth bare hand.

"Deal...sealed." I spoke. She wickedly nodded at me.

The thing is she was far difference at some points for some girls. She didn't want wearing a make-up, and her style. Wearing a skirt at school is once in a lifetime. Suot niya lagi ay jogging pants or di kaya ay pants with plain shirt or sometimes dress. But it was been seen right away na luma na ang mga ginagamit niya kapag naisipan niyang mag dress.

Stopping my car and park at side way of the highway. Agad akong lumabas...and upon step outside I shout. Shouting my frustrated. Shouting the pain inside my chest. I hurts...it was so stupid of me that I fall in love with her. Why would I threaten her if I am the one who's in the first place will be fall like these? I love her...really. But...it was still him at the end. Siya pa rin pala ang pipiliin niya.

And she's telling the truth. Papakasal nga siya nang dumating na ang ikalawang linggo.

"What happen Rayver? I thought that she's you woman? Why your best friend is going to marry her, son?" Mama said when I entered the house. "Baby." Dad called her.

"No, Rezoir! He introduced her at us? And what is this?!" Mom frustrated spat. Dad console her, whispering some sweet words at her ears. Dad intently looks at me, instructing me to go up stair and were going to talk later. Pagod akong napahiga sa kama. So, if it this the end? She's tying a knot with Lacky. F*ck...why? Anong meron kay Lacky na wala sa akin? Am I not enough?

"What's your plan?" Dad sip at his drinks.

"Should I run, Dad?"

"Are you giving up?"

"Maybe we're not belong to each other."

"That was the word I was saying when things are become roller coaster between me and your mom." He spoke.

"What am I going to do then?"

"It's up to you son. It is okay to run, but the thing is will you be alright? Magiging ayos ka rin pa ba kapag tumakbo ka na?"

"Hindi niya ako mahal Dad. Una pa lang...alam kong hindi ako." iling ko. Alam ko naman na hindi talaga ako, isa pa, kung pagbabasehan kaming dalawa ni Lacky kay Gaile. Alam kong mas lamang si Lacky after all...I care for her...sa patagong paraan. Tumayo si Dad, he patted my back.

"Do the things you think its right."

Naging tama ba ang desisyon ang pagtakbo? I am not the man who can go to his bestfriend wedding with my woman...back then. Kaya mas pinili kong lumayo, duwag bang lumayo pero hindi tanggap na hindi ako pinili ng taong mahal ko. Tumingala ako sa kalangitan. People say, my father was the wildest beast among the clan of Hillarca. That's what they said, na ang alam ng tao ay namana ko ang lahat sa kanya. Ang talion, ang pisikal na anyo, at ang diskarte kung pag-ibig ang pag-uusapan rito. Yes, I wouldn't deny the fact that the contract that I create it just a bait...but not ever be a game. But Gaile, see the contract as contract itself...na kahit anong effort ang gawin ko it was just a game for her. At habang patagal na patagal akong nahuhulog sa kanya, mas nahuhulog rin pala ang nararamdaman niya sa kaibigan kong si Lacky.

Lacky and I was beyond different.

In prose, he was the dog but I'm a lion. The married it was a convenient, for business, I didn't know that Gaile was close to the Romero. Kaya siya ang napili nilang ipakasal kay Lacky, after all the daughter of the Romero was already tie with someone else.

"Kuya Chad!" blinking my eyes.

"H-Hale? What are you doing here?"

"Ikaw kuya, ano ring ginagawa mo dito?"

"I'm taking a vacation."

"Aga namang vacation."

'And you?"

"I run away!"

"W-What?!"

"Mabuti na lang at sa Japan ka rin pupunta kuya! I have a companion then!" she giggled.

"Why the f*ck did you run away?!"

"I'm not part of their family anymore!"

"Wha-"

"Our dear passengers, please settle-"

Agad akong napahilot sa gilid ng noo. I'm out of the country in able to take a breath, but fate didn't let me huh. Why would I bump with this brat for all god knows now?! I don't know why she run away, but one thing for sure I know. It's not good to be with...her.

And why I am taking her luggage then?

"Mas maganda na rin na may kasama ka kuya Chad," patalon talon siya habang sinusundan ako. Hindi ko alam kung saan at kailan ako pumayag na sumama na siya sa akin. Argument with her I know I can't be win. "Maybe, fate see us to be with this day!" she was so hyper for people who run away. I shake my heads, and what? A freaking sixteen years old just run away just like that?!

If it was Rasha, I will go mad. For sure.

"When will you go home?" I ask.

"When will you go home?" she mimicked me. Raising my brow at her.

"Haileen Bielle."

"Rayver Chadrelle."

"Tsk."

"What? I'm curious as you are!"

"I'm not curious, I was just asking for me to know when will I accompany you at the airport."

"Why would you accompany me? E' puwede naman tayong sabay ng umuwi!"

"Really?" "Really!"

I stop at my trace reasons why she bumped at me. Piercing looking at her, I bend in able for me to reach her face. She looks flushed, noon pa man I know that this brat was kind of like me.

"Did you follow me?"

"H-Huh? H-Hindi 'nu! Why would I?"

"Look me straight in the eye then."

"I-I..."

"Hmm?"

"I-I didn't! I really run away from home!" todo tanggi niya. But her actions were enough to confirm that she was. I take a deep sigh.

"Don't take a step away with me, kung ayaw mong maligaw."

'You're not mad na?"

"I'm not mad."

"Galit ka e'." I hissed. How can Wince live with her? She was so...never mind.

We arrive at our hotel. Our room are next to each other, even my hotel number. Tsk! Tsk, is she really run away or someone take a plan on this? Perhaps, it could be tita Maddy or be so my mom would be. Well, I'm here or should I say were here. So be with it, hoping that this place gives a space or time to be at peace eventually.

NEXT day. "Coming!" I shouted. Someone is knocking my door, and yet it was still so early. Who could be? Of course, no other than, someone who can ruin my peaceful day. "What?" masungit kung aniya. Pero agad rin akong napaayos ng tayo nang makitang pumatak na ang kanyang luha.

"K-Kuya..." I thoughts she's just acting this time.

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you sick?" agad ko pang dinama ang noo niya kung may lagnat siya. When it turns out she's not. "what's wrong?" kunot noo kong aniya. Itinuro naman niya ang kaniyang kuwarto.

"What? Someone bargain at your room?" nanlalaking matang wika ko at handa ng makipagsuntukan! Pero agad nalaglag ang balikat ko sa sunod niyang sinabi. "There's a cockroach in my room!"

And that's not the last one she knocks my door.

"How to use the telephone?"

"It's like this."

"Sira ang shower sa banyo ko!"

"Call the staffs, Hale!"

"I don't have a shirt to wear! We're can I buy?!"

Taking a deep sigh. Napahilamos ako sa mukha. Why would universe be killing me in f*cking through this way?!

"I'm coming!" when I open the door. Ang ngising ngisi mukha ni Hale ang agad bumungad sa skin. "What was this time?"

"There's a "

"Hale," I called her name. Agad kong hinawakan ang kaniyang balikat at pinakatitigan ng matagal. "You know what, stay with me. Share a room with me."

"Ha?"

THE next day, she already shares a room with me. Mabuti na lang at may dalawang kuwarto ang kinuha kong silid. Ilang linggo ng nandito kami sa Japan pero hanggang sa hotel lang kami. Kaya sa mismong araw na rin 'yon ay naisipan naming lumabas. I don't have really a destination in the back of my head, kaya hindi na ako nakaangal nang siya na mismo ang nasa unahan. In the end, we visit the place we're her favorite mangga or anime has been taken in the film or in comics. In short, naging world tour ang Japan kay Hale. It was too late to against to her plan.

"Ang cute," she commented while starring those nails. "ang ganda naman ng fake nails nila dito." She looks at me.

"What? You don't have a money?" napanguso siya at agad akong inirapan. My mouth dropped. This brat, taking a deep sigh. "What it is? Why are rolling your eyes at me?" salubong ang mga kilay kong pinagmamasdan siya. "I have a money. But I don't know how to," itinuro niya ang machine na nasa harapan niya mismo. "I want to buy this cute nails, hindi ba nakakaintindi ka ng Japanese?!" I stop her jumping. Napa-face palm ako. What a kid.

"Short of," following the nstruction. Hindi naman mapakali ang nasa tabi ko. "Stop giggling Hale." I commented. Napanguso naman siya kaya umiling ako, mabuti at nakakatulog pa ng mahimbing si Wince sa bahay nila kapag nandiyan ang kapatid niya. Because really, the truth is...ilang araw ng wala akong maayos ng tulog. Haileen is kind of trouble. Koting kilos lang niya kung anu-ano na ang nangyayari sa paligid niya. That's why I kind of asking how the f*ck and why she run away? Knowing the fact that trouble is always with her.

"Watch out!" I scoop her nang muntik na siyang mahulog.

"S-Sorry."

Just a heads up: Narugi.com is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!

"Watch your step! What are you looking at that you're not concentrating at your front?!" I spat furiously. When I follow the direction were she's looking at, agad niya akong hinila at pumunta sa kabilang banda.

"I-I need a pair of slipper pa pala!" wika niya.

"Aren't you buy that already?"

"May nakita ako do'n na mas maganda!"

"Tsk!" I hissed.

Pagod akong naupo sa sopa nang makabalik na kami sa hotel.

"You, okay?" natatawang tanong niya. Masama ko naman siyang tinignan, looks like this is really her plan. Ang pagodin ang mga paa ko.

"I'm good."

"Bukas saan naman tayo pupunta?" I groaned.

"What? Masaya kaya ang mag shopping!" turan naman niya. Nodding my head.

"Yeah." Pagod kong sagot. I was taken aback ng makitang ang lapit lapit na niya sa mukha ko. Stopping her hands to move. "what are you doing?" kunot noo kong tanong.

"Hilot, hindi ba masakit ang ulo mo?" she innocently asking.

F*ck.

"I'm good." Wika ko. Pero hindi naman paawat ito, she's doing a massage in my head. "Stubborn." I whispered.

"Yeah, that's me Haileen alyas stubborn." Tawang aniya. I smiled. "Uy, ngumiti si kuya." Tukso niya.

"I am not."

"You are! Kita ko nga e', ayan oh." Sabay tusok nito sa pisngi ko. Agad ko naman siyang kiniliti dahilanang pag out of balamce niya. She falls into my body. Bago pa man siya makaalis, I grab her hands and scoop her...easily. "W-What are you doing?" nauutal niyang aniya. Agad kong tinanggal ang sapatos na suot niya, as expected...there's a bruise in it.

"Let me clean your wound." Wika ko. Ito ang unang napansin ko pa noong pa punta palang kami rito. May iniinda siyang sakit. "what happen to your toes?" I look at her at iwas na iwas naman ang kaniyang mga mata sa akin. "It's nothing." Tipid niyang sagot.

"This is not nothing. Tell me Hale, why did you run away, hmm?" biting her lips. She bravely looks me straight in the eye this time.

"Someone is following me..." napaayos ako nang upo sa sinabi nito.

"Someone is following you?" ulit ko at tumango naman ito. "When does it started?"

"I-I don't know when...pero pansin kong parang gabi gabing may pilit na binubuksan ang pinto ko at bintana."

"A f*cking what?!"

"It's true! The reason why I run! I am not safe there anymore!"

"Why don't you tell to your brother?!"

"I-I tried...but that person knows...I was threatened! Kaya hindi ko masabi sabi!"

"Okay! That's it! We're going home!" agad siyang kumawala sa aking bisig.

"WHAT? NO!"

"Hale list-"

"A-Ayoko kuya!" iling niya. "ayokong umuwi! He will kill me!" she's crying. I grab her hands and hug her tightly.

"B-Baby listen, hey, look at me," gently cares her face. "It's okay, you have me. We will replace the culprit, okay?" "W-What if you will be hurt?"

"That's not going to happen. Trust me, I replace the culprit and make him pay."

Sudden urge to replace the culprit was been a big questions mark at me...toward myself. Why the f*ck I been affected...been affectionate towards at her? Do I like her...or it's just a pity or what?

"I will marry her, Ma." And the plan is this. We're announcing that I propose to her, that this time I am now her fiancée. In able to trace fast the culprit. But I never thought...I will love her eventually at the end. F*ck, I thought it just a feeling toward at my best friend sister. That I just care for her as a sister too, hindi ko inakalang tinamaan na ako. Putang*na, tapos saka siya babalik.

"What did you say, Gaile?"

"I love you, Chad. Mahal kita!"

"What the f*ck are you talking about?"

"C-Chad...sorry I didn't intent to-" she suddenly hug me. Before I will able to push her, it was too late because Hale already see it.

"Haileen!" I shouted her name.

"C-Chad..."

"Stop this f*cking game Gaile! I have Hale now; you are been too late to f*cking game around!"
